Ouch... I dont know where to help you with light pedal pressure, but I know that Centerforce makes a bitchin clutch, and they can handle some power as well.

DFX scores big, not only with holding-capacity and strength, but also provides some of the best drivability from a race-inspired clutch. DFX retains an easy pedal effort, thanks to Centerforce's patented ball bearing actuated diaphragm, for smooth engagements without detriment to the vehicle's release components.

this sounds great. thanks alot.

I run this in my car. As for the t/o bearing, you can get one from a local parts store or dealer. Or from where ever you're gonna order your clutch from.
